Jury Dutyfollowed a mock jury selection and trial. Everyone on set was a paid improv actor — except for Gladden, who really thought he was part of a televised trial. He met a cast of characters, including actorJames Marsden— who played an elitist version of himself — a man who wore a camelback water pouch on his back the entire time and a man who readily declared himself as “racist” to get out of jury duty.
Gladden also tells PEOPLE that he had suspicions about his role on the series “on the third day.”
